PrizePicks has been known as one of the most popular daily fantasy sports platforms for years  — simply picking More or Less on player stats to win cash if you’re right. Starting today, PrizePicks goes beyond players, with more real-money outcomes on games and hot topics in culture.

With the launch of Team Picks from PrizePicks Predict, you now make calls on team outcomes, including game winners, over/unders, and spreads on everything from NFL games to soccer matches worldwide. 

Additionally, we’re introducing Culture Picks, a new way to make picks on real-world trending topics in politics, crypto, music, movies, and more to earn real money when you’re right — all in one app.

We’ll break down everything you need to know inside PrizePicks’ newest ways to make picks — both live in the app now, including how Team Picks and Culture Picks work, what you can make picks on, and how to earn real money with your picks if you’re right.
